I’ve improved my personal record on half-marathon by 10 minutes ! Photo Credit: David via Compfight I’m still folowing my objective to become a marathoner. On april 15 I ran half-marathon for the 3rd time. My first run was 1 year ago in Annecy (France), it went well, and it took me 2h 06 min to finish. In december I did another try in Singapore, it went really very bad, and I finished the race totally exhausted in a terrible 2h26 minutes.
This new attempt was very important as I had 2 objectives : forget the Singapore failure, and improve my last year time to confirm that I’m on the good path to achieve a marathon soon! Everything went well and I crossed the finish line in a very good (for me !) It’s 10 min, better than last year. Why did I improve ? Because every race I build experience. So what is next ?
